Bunches of Bento

The beginning of the week started with Ryan being sick. Knock on wood, no once else has come down with anything and it's now the weekend. So I'll start backwards from yesterday, recounting the week's food...
Ryan's
friday
lunch:
rice;
meat-
less
meat-
balls;
mache
greens;
"tulips"
with
cucum-
ber
stems
and
leaves
& red
bell
pepper
petals.


Thursday was early release for parent-teacher conferences, so Ryan didn't need a big lunch. He really wanted some of the pasta casserole for lunch, and everyone's new favourite bar, the Mojo peanut butter pretzel flavour. So there was no need for a bento...now that's a first!!
Ryan's thursday lunch: Mojo peanut butter pretzel bar; Thermos of comfort casserole minus the soy cheese but with zucchini added in addition to the other vegetables.

Ryan's wednesday lunch: 4 bean salad; baby carrots; mini corn muffin; sou cheese strips; black olives; tiny gherkin pickle; cucumber slices; fresh fruit salad (pineapple, orange, strawberry, grape).

Stay tuned for some foraging of wild edibles!
